Default Cobra Engine in a V6?

I have a 2000 V6 I have had it over 3 years and I havent done any thing to it. I want to put a Cobra engine in it now. I wanted to get some input from some one who knows if it will fit and every thing hook up or will i have to get a new wiring harnes or any kind of adapters for it.

Thanks.

just put the blower on the V6 with full bolt ons and you will be close to the same power with less headaches

Buying a good condition, with low miles, a Cobra motor will cost you a lot of $$$. You are better off slapping a blower on your motor, and adding a few supporting mods. If you want to go all out though, by all means go with the Cobra motor.

Check out the V6 section and do some reading. There are a lot of great 'do and don't' type threads when it comes to getting a supercharger or turbocharger for the V6.

thats the worst advice you can get - drop in a v8 - its easy and youll get alot more out of it. and its cheaper than adding a blower

Since when was a V8 swap cheaper than adding a blower? And for what? A V8 with less hp than a V6 with a blower. That idea is full of failure.
